Coastal properties can be subject to coastal hazard overlays, flood mapping, and marine park proximity conditions. We recommend obtaining a building and pest inspection and reviewing the Council search carefully. Empire Legal reviews all contract searches and brings any notable issues to your attention before you proceed.
